April is National Poetry Month. I was reminded of this when I drove by a big banner sign at the Norwalk Library last night.
Many are intimidated by poetry. Some forms may seem too restrictive and constrictive--strangling your thoughts and emotions. Paul Simon has a line in "Kathy's Song" about "words that tear and strain to rhyme."
Poetry doesn't have to be high art--full of obscure imagery--recited in an affected poet's voice. Poetry can be light and fun. Poems can be about anything.
I'm not a literary poet; I'm a biscuit poet.
